The Indiana Players will be holding Open Auditions for our 14th Annual One-Act Festival on Monday, March 24th and Tuesday, March 25th from 6pm to 8pm at the Philadelphia Street Playhouse (725 Philadelphia Street, Indiana, PA).
No prior experience, preparation or sign up is required! Sides (excerpts) from each one-act will be provided at the auditions to read alongside fellow auditioners. There are many parts to fill for many different types! The One-Act Festival is a great opportunity for first-time actors, occasional performers with busy schedules, and more regular and experienced actors alike!
The Festival will run from April 24th to April 27th with performances at 7:30pm Thursday thru Saturday and a final matinee on Sunday at 2:30pm. This year’s festival will feature six original plays!
